GCM Hosted the first half of the second day of the 12th Visayas Regional Assembly of

the Association of Philippine Medical Colleges (APMC).

The day began with the Regional Quiz Bee, a signature event of the assembly, which

was held in the GCM Auditorium. As eager participants filled the seats, the atmosphere

was charged with anticipation. Medical students from various colleges in the Visayas

region demonstrated their knowledge and expertise in a friendly but fierce competition.

Simultaneously, in Room 304, another event occurred: the Regional Interscholastic

Debate. Here, student debaters from the visiting medical colleges engaged in

discussion about current medical topics. The debate created a healthy exchange of

ideas and encouraged participants to effectively explain their points of view, developing

their communication skills, which are critical in medical practice.

Following these activities, the assembly moved on to a more focused session, the

Regional Pathologic Case Conference, which took place once again in the GCM

Auditorium. This segment gave an opportunity for attendees to delve deeply into clinical

cases, exploring difficult circumstances with the supervision of medical experts.

Participants learned a lot about detecting and managing different medical disorders

from lively discussions and case presentations. The conference provided a forum for

sharing knowledge, experiences, and best practices, increasing the learning experience

for all attendees.

This the last activity in-campus for the entirety of the three-day event as the remaining

activities were held in a different venue by another host medical school.
